| High volume production requires that product quality be maintained. A further requirement is the ability to switch production to new models or model variants with the minimum of production delays. |
|
| The System enables us to achieve this flexibility in tube manufacturing quality assurance. When switching production to new models or model variants lengthy set-up times are no longer necessary: All component related measurements can be stored and analyzed with statistical process control programs. |

| Provides Online Corrections to Bending Machines |
| Our System allows to be directly linked to Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) bending machines. If tube measurements indicate that adjustments need to be made to the tube manufacturing process, corrections are directly transmitted to the bending machine via the CNC program. |
|
If no automatic transfer of correctional data is possible, the determined parameters (e.g. push, rotate & bend) are entered manually into the bending program.
In either case, the bending machine corrections will be made more quickly so that dimensionally correct tubes are produced with minimal waste. Machine set-up becomes predictable, and down time is drastically reduced. |
